Differential expression of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases 4 in developing rat lung

Abstract: During the perinatal period, lungs undergo changes to adapt to air breathing. The genes involved in these changes are developmentally regulated by various signaling pathways, including the cyclic nucleotide cAMP. As PDE4s are critical enzymes for regulation of cAMP levels, the objective of this study was to investigate PDE4's ontogeny in developing rat lung during the perinatal period. Pulmonary PDE4 activity, PDE4A-D, PDE4B, and PDE4D variant expression levels, PDE4B and PDE4D protein levels, and PDE4D locali… Show more

“…As expected, these isoenzyme proteins were abundantly found in the cytosolic fraction, which is likely correlated with the presence of high cAMP hydrolytic activity. PDE4A (64 and 84 kDa) was only found in the cytosolic fraction, whereas 64 kDa PDE4B and 63 kDa PDE4D were differentially expressed in this compartment (16). As for the microsomal fraction, 51 kDa PDE4A and mainly three PDE4C immunoreactive bands (84, 75, and 64 kDa) were the predominant forms, with 75 kDa PDE4C being exclusively expressed in this fraction.…”

“…Consequently, PDE4 is thought to play a key role in lung inflammation and hyperresponsiveness. Despite increasing evidence, which depict PDE4 family enzymes as attractive targets for treatment of asthma and COPD (6, 22), little is known regarding their relative activities and expression in human lung tissue (16,36,41).…”

“…Different PDE isoforms are expressed in different epithelial cells. Whereas whole lung tissue primarily expresses PDE4 [ 187 ], primary alveolar A549 cells highly express PDE4 compared to PDE1, PDE3 and PDE5 and primary human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells equally express PDE4 and PDE1, but express lower levels of PDE3 and PDE5 [ 131 , 132 ]. In contrast to studies in endothelial cells, cAMP-sensing multiprotein complexes maintained by AKAPs have not been studied yet in airway epithelial cells, even though PDE4 is complexed with AKAP9 [ 123 ].…”

“…Abundance of PDE 4 in lung tissue has been reported earlier 26 . PDE-4 has four distinct genes, PDE-4A, PDE-4B, PDE-4C and PDE-4D 27 with specificity to cAMP and thus have become potential therapeutic targets.…”
